Elinchrom Transmitter PRO Gebrauchsanleitung Seite 15

ELSP MODE
The Transmitter Pro has two operating modes that offer different shooting functionality.
Normal Sync mode (Maximum distance range)
•
Normal mode is compatible with the very first Elinchrom flash units incorporating Skyport.
When selected, display illumination and status LED will light up in green.
• Speed Sync mode (limited distance range)
The Speed mode enables faster communication and shutter speeds for compatible cameras (i.e. for leaf
shutter cameras and some mirrorless). The Hi-Sync or HSS mode activates automatically when faster
shutter speeds within 1/8000s are selected with compatible cameras, in both Normal and Speed mode.
The display illumination and status LED are displayed in red when speed mode is selected.
Note:
• The Speed mode reduces the working distance by approximately 50%.
• Transmitter and the EL flash units must have the same Sync mode settings, either Normal or Speed.
• Speed Sync mode should not to be confused with Hi-Sync or HSS. The Hi-Sync or HSS feature is
automatical available in both Normal or Speed modes with compatible cameras.
ODS SETUP
The Over-Drive-Sync (ODS) can improve the overall exposure at fast shutter speed settings.
ODS relies on flash units with long flash durations. The results will depend on the flash duration of the lights
used (which also changes at different power levels), and can vary with different types of cameras. Full frame
cameras with large sensors and slow shutters are unfortunately the hardest to get good results with, but lights
with long enough flash durations can still achieve clean frames all the way to 1/8000th.
With ODS fine tuning, up to 2 f-stops more light is possible, essential when sun light must be overpowered.
The ODS Setup offers adjustment from 0.1 to 5.0 ms or can be switched off. The ODS value will vary
depending on the camera and the flash unit which is used and must be adjusted manually.
Note:
• When ODS is adjusted, the position of the flash cutoff (dark edge at top or bottom of picture) can be
moved within the frame.
• When switched OFF, the flash trigger point will be selected automatically at higher shutter speed settings
of the camera.
